This should NOT be a patient you have encountered in your work
but, instead, should be a family member or friend (who gives consent) or
preferably a patient in clinical. You should note that all information
will be confidential and that their private information will NOT be shared as
part of this assignment.
Your assessment should be comprehensive, and you should refer to
course texts to inform items for inclusion in your assessment. Keep in mind
that you will be responsible for covering those areas addressed in the reading
assignments up to this point. The documentation should remain HIPAA-compliant
even though this is not a real patient. DO NOT USE REAL PATIENT
IDENTIFIERS. Be sure to include birth and developmental information as
well as school and behavior information for the child. Consider cultural,
gender, ethnicity, spiritual, and social competencies needed to formulate
the best care plan for the patient.
The patient will be referred to as Jane Doe or Jack Doe.
